NEW PLANTS. 



* DRACAENA GOLDIEANA. 



One of the most magnificent ornamental foliaged plants ever introduced, and altogether 

 unique in character and aspect. It is a native of Western Tropical Africa. The plant is of 

 erect habit, and the stems are closely set with stalked spreading leaves, the petioles of which 

 are of grayish color, terete with a narrow furrow along the upper side, the base being dilated 

 and sheathing the stem. The blade of the leaf is cordate-ovate acuminate, with a yellowish 

 green costa, and banded with dark green and silver gray in alternate straight or furcate 

 bands, the colors being about equally distributed. The back of the unrolled leaves is a pale 

 reddish purple or wine color, and the stem where visible at the upper joints is of similar hue, 

 the lower parts becoming green. It is, without doubt, one of the finest of all siove plants 

 and indispensable in all first class collections. 



This magnificent plant was sent out in London in 1878 at 5, 7£ and 10 guineas per plant.
